Colonial Summer Film Series: Ghostlight

Directors: Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson, Cast: Keith Kupferer, Katherine Mallen Kupferer, Tara Mallen, 1h 50m, R

When melancholic construction worker finds himself drifting from his wife and daughter, he discovers community and purpose in a local theater’s production of Romeo and Juliet. As the drama onstage starts to mirror his own life, he and his family are forced to confront a personal loss. “O’Sullivan has a natural storytelling gift, coupled with a knack for comedy. Here, she takes… grieving families, difficult teens, small-town communities—and rearranges them into a surprising and moving narrative.” —Variety
